Thanks for the message Rosemary, I really enjoy being part of this peaceful community. The first day before applying for membership I spent three hours traveling around the website. I love searching around the internet about my "treasures" and I am mostly an impulsive and emotional buyer  I adopt some things for a while then I resell them and buy new thing that make me happyFor the past years I am a horse stable addict

Hello Rosemary,I have just been looking through some old DH pastAnd present mags and came upon your article about your Grecon dolls. it was both enjoyable and enlightening. Now I understand better about their attraction. I am beginning to fall under their spell. I do enjoy all the stories that are told of their antics by you and others.

Hello Rosemary,dolly's house came with a couple of grecons the rest I have collected since, I have not added to the collection for a while they are hard to find and go for a lot now ,I must photograph more of them when I have time, dolly's house is my favourite house it went all the way to the lakes and back again last year ,it was funny as I moved all my houses and the one that gave me the most trouble was the newest one with modern lighting all needing replaced and the really old houses just lit straight up again ,its not something I would like to do again worse than moving all the sheep Lucy xxxx

Hi Rosemary- yes....that is my Downton Abbey Rose inspired doll. I carved her just before the holidays. She is a "Hitty" type doll. (wood, peg-jointed, usually lots more rustic). Thanks for the comment.

Hi Rosemary, thanks for commenting on my Enid Blyton house, specifically the Triang table, it is nice to know it is from their Jacobean Range, which if I knew I had forgotten! Pleased you have one now too and the chairs?? Have you put any pictures on of them anywhere? I will be putting new pictures of that house on soon as looking back at my album the bays are very plain and I have since added curtains and other frippery bits!

Hello there, and thanks for the welcome. I'm really enjoying exploring the site and working out how it works. I loved this month's magazine - oh so many interesting articles and became all mushy over the deco design furnitureAm still trying to find my way around.Love your children's party pics

Thanks so much for the kind comments Rosemary and it is great to know that I'm not the only one who actually creates the characters that occupy the houses. I seem to find it helps to build the house if you know the occupants.

Thanks for the contact. My 'other illness' is now forty plus at the moment, and I too have got hooked on Triang as I made contact with Marion Osborne about a house I had bought and ended up buying her book on Triang houses which sent me on a buying spree. The book has proved invaluable.

Hi Rosemary! We never knew anything like that-the shutters, and missing chimney!. I will look those other two houses up. Once, I thought I remembered some half columns on it, but that was long ago, and she lived in Scotland, where we lived always in Canada after the 2nd world war.This kind of information is what I was hoping to hear. My grandmother has passed long ago, and this just came to me a few years back.It seems in very good shape really-but that is only by our "unknowing" eyes looking at basically whether it looks fascinating. My forte is British prams, and I thought that is a lot of stuff to learn! I assumed, after seeing the picture that Rebecca guided us to, that she put the lace curtains on that upper window. Rebecca also said that she did not think that the fireplaces were original-well, when we were taking pictures of all that came with it, there were two more old wooden, plug-in fireplaces, with little orange lightbulbs and twigs for it too! Now, I don't know which, if either of them, came with it. Nobody else knows anything about it in our family. I would love to put the pictures on-thank you. It will be interesting to find out about those. She said that she had collected furniture for a long while over the years so I don't even know who it really came from, or what it came with! I do have pictures that were given to me with the house, so I will look at those and see what it was from the beginning. I hope I don't have the years wrong-it is hard when things you find out are basically hearsay, and I can't check them out. It is all great to know! Thank you, and I look forward to knowing anything that I can gather!

Hi Rosemary hope you don't mind me asking you questions again.....have started on the front of my little house and thought to look at your photo again...and am seeing more differences, the lower windows on mine are broader and lower than on yours and the porch is rounded is this because it is earlier? and does she have a name or number? I've managed to reproduce all the wallpaper which takes an age but very worth it, but this will all wait until I have the ouside finished, managed to convince my French friend she was a lines triang....but I think she will be visiting the website as she found it very interesting,especially now the translation tool is running

thanks Rosemary I was pretty sure from all the help I've had here that it was a lines-triang just did not want to offend my friend by questioning her ....and like you not possible to reply via the forum
